Mehso-so

This trilogy was fun to read but I had a hard time giving it a rating. The first book was amazing and each author's style shined through and complimented each other.

The second book was ok but the third book took a huge leap that cheapened the entire trilogy a bit. But it's in the third book that you see how interwoven King's universe was in the entire story. It's a hard call but overall I really enjoyed the trilogy as a whole.

Pickpick

Overall, Gwendy‘s story for me was about creativity, construction vs. destruction, secrets, fate vs. free will, and man‘s efficacy in his own life and the world.

The Button Box was full of magic and wonder. The story should have been left here.

Magic Feather was written sans King and lacked any magic whatsoever. It was forgettable.

Final Task is dark and somber, highlighting the price paid for such a power as that contained within the box.
